In a wrapping machine providing a path 'for the articles to be wrapped and a. path through which the wrapping-paper is placed transversely in the path oli' the articles, in combination, a pair of paper-hold ing and guiding devices in lront of the pa per path, one on each side oil the path of the article; a pair of paper-holding and guiding rollers in rear of the paper path, one on each side oit the path ot' the articles to coperate with the adjacent each having a flat side whereby the paper can pass freely into the spaces so formed be tween the rollers and the said devices; and means ior rotating the rollers to carry their flattened sides inwardly toward the path of the articles.

S. In a wrapping machine providing a path for the articles to be wrapped, in corn-- bination, a pair of rollers, one on each side of the path of the articles; a pair of rollers in rear oi' the first pair, one on each side or' the path of the articles to coperate with the adjacent roller of the first pair and each having a fiattened side to provide a receiving space for the paper in which an article is to loe wrapped; and means to rotate each roller inwardly toward the cooperating roller and toward the path of the articles.

9. In a wrapping machine providing a path for the articles to be wrapped, in combination, a front roller on each side of the path of the articles; a roller on each side of the said path and in rear of the adjacent front roller to coperate therewith, and having a flattened side to provide a space to receive the paper in which an article is to be wrapped; intermeshing r)fears on the ends of the rollers at each side ot the path of the articles whereby the cooperating rollers rotate in opposite directions; and means for rotating the rollers in the directions necessary to carry the flattened sides of the rear rollers inwardly toward the path of the articles.

10. In a wrapping machine providing a path for the articles to be wrapped, in combination, a pair of cooperating paper-holding and feeding rollers on each side of the path of the articles, at least one roller of each pair having a flattened side to provide device in front of it and means to rotate the a paper vez;

lf2. In a wrapping machine providing a path lor the articles Yto be wrapped, the com hination with means for placing the wrapping-paper across the )ath oli the articles, of movable means to hcl the s" said path, and mechanism for in to carry the outer portions wardiy toward said path.

ld. In a wrapping machine providing a path for the articles to be wrapped, the combination of movable devices wrapping paper across the vpath of the arti-- cles, and means 'for moving the said devices to carry inwardly toward the path of the articles the outer portion of the paper held by said devices.

la. In a wrapping machine, the combination oli movable devices spaced apart laterally and adapted to hold the end portions of a sheet of paper, means for moving an arti cle to be wrapped through the space between said devices, and means for moving the said devices to pass the end portions of the paper inwardly toward the article as the latter advances and at substantially the same rate of speed.

15. In a wrapping machine, the combination of rotatable devices spaced apart laterally and adapted to hold the en'd portions of a sheet of paper, means to feed the paper to said devices with the central portion of the paper in the space between the devices, means for carrying an article to be wrapped through the space between said devices, land means for movin said devices to pass the end portions of t e paper laterally inward toward the article as the latter advances through said space.

16. In a wrapping machine providing a path for the articlesto be wrapped, in combination, a pair of vertical paper-receivin and holdin rollers on each side of the at of the artic es, means for rotating the ro 1ers inwardly and toward the said path as an article advances between the airs of rollers whereby the outer portions o the paper held by the rollers are fed inwardly toward said path and are folded rearwardly u' on the sides ofthe article, means above an below ,ai paper in and mecha-` to hold the the path of thearticle to lay upon the article the central portions of the paper and thereby produce side-folds extending upwardly and downwardly from the article at the sides thereof, means for folding said side folds laterallyy inward upon the article, and means operating upon the folds thus folded upon the article to x the saine in such position.

17. In a wrapping machine providing a path for the articles to be wrapped, the combination of a front roller and a coperating rear roller at each side of the path of the articles, to hold across said path the paper in which an article is to be wrapped, means to advance the article between the pairs of rollers,-mechanism to rotate the rollers inwardly and toward said path as the article advances to lay the outer portions of the paper rearwardly along the sides of the article, crimpers above and below the path of the article and extending rearwardly between the two front rollers to fold upon the article the central portions of the paper, and thereby produce side-folds extending upwardly and downwardly from the sides of the article, means in advance of the crimpers to fold the side-folds inwardly upon the article, and means operating on the folds so folded upon the article to fix the same in such position.
